Economic dimension: supports military power, fits the current era of interdependence (cid:858)soft(cid:859) po(cid:449)er, co-optation rather than coercion via culture and value legitimacy. Structural power: power over process especially agenda setting, which issues are raised/ part of the global discussion via regimes and institutions. Based on the idea of an international system: like party system, pattern of interactions with causal impact, a pole (when there is polarity) has an exceptionally large share of the major power resource. Unipolarity: one state with disproportionately high share of power no major rivals. Bipolarity: two major powers with disproportionately high shares of power, causal consequence = zero-sum competition (each power sees any gain for their rival as a loss for themselves)
